| 1 | Flaming hot take: because teenage boys tend to be less mature than girls their age, they are MORE negatively affected when they have sex with an adultThis is also why I think the argument often used to mitigate the stigma of an adult woman with a teenager “What teenage boy would say no to sex with her.” is so terrible. If a boy could or would not say no, that means he can’t really consent doesn’t it? A teenager will not consider the possible consequences of sex. Pregnancy and children which he would be financially responsible for, std’s, the husband finding out and kicking his ass , all negative consequences that a teenager wouldn’t really co… | /r/MensRights | 20/09/19 06:05 PM |
| 2 | If a woman abusing a dog is taken seriously, then why can't a woman abusing a man.I’m a vet, so obviously I don’t like animal abuse. And while this lady was obviously upset with her dog nothing about that dogs behavior to me says it felt abused. A dog like that could take a full force blow from that woman and not feel a thing. The dog probably thought she was playing. But don’t think I am defending her, she tried to humiliate and hurt her dog, she literally spat on it. The fact that she failed shouldn’t really be taken into account. It may be that this is a pattern for her wh… | /r/MensRights | 08/08/19 05:41 PM |
| 3 | Damn men and their *shuffles cards * refusing to hold meetings alone with womenI’m pretty sure if a woman said she doesn’t want to be alone with men ,or a particular man, because she fears for her safety, almost everyone would accommodate. And anyone who spoke against it would be seen as uncaring. | /r/MensRights | 13/06/19 03:54 PM |

Most people are aware how common, and deadly, breast cancer is, but are not as aware of the mortality rate of prostate cancer.

| 43 | The Earnings gap is an indicator of female privilegeThat’s exactly right, women earn less because they can afford to. No one on their deathbed wishes they had worked more, or spent less time with their family. This is why the earrings gap is always presented as making less for doing the same job, a blatant falsehood. Statistically Women are happier, and live longer than men*. Those two facts alone are enough to prove women are not oppressed. Edit: *This may not be true in all parts of the world or cultures. | /r/MensRights | 26/05/18 02:10 AM |
| 2 | Apparently there's a wage gap between gay and straight women now.Anyone who pays attention to this sub understands why lesbians earn more. Lesbians dont have a man that will help support them, so they make likely make life choices that will earn them a greater income. The interesting bit in this article is that it goes out of its way to explain that the wage gap for lesbians is very complicated, not do to positive discrimination, there are other factors etc. Which is true. Then it says gay men make less, because of discrimination, simple as that. That's when … | /r/MensRights | 20/02/16 01:14 PM |

BF finds it a bit weird, is overwhelmingly told he has a hero complex.None of us here know you or your GF, and obviously we don't know her reasoning. What I do know is that you are uncomfortable with the arrangement and that will only lead to resentment. You have every right to come up with your own counter proposal, or simply not move in with her. Don't let her or anyone on the internet guilt trip you into doing something you are uncomfortable with.

If so, how did they miss the obvious hypocrisy?We don't know what percent of the staff are women, if its seventy percent then it makes perfect sense that managers would be seventy percent. There may be other factors as well, Its quite likely that women stay at the company longer than men.

This drug increases libidos in only 10% of women that take it. These women went from 2.7 sexually satisfying sexual experience per month to 4.5,compared to 3.7 for placebo. For that extra 0.8 sexy times a month you can never have alcohol, as you may get dangerously low blood pressure, along with all the other side effects. It also takes eight weeks for it to take full effect, if you are one of the lucky 10%. I think it's fair… | /r/MensRights | 24/08/15 05:25 PM |

Hopefully though people see it and realize it's not fair to hold his kid as ransom in that way. I don't think this was showing how child support should be, but how unfair it could be.

| 7 | Been reading about MGTOW, I would like some balanceInteresting way to see it. Imagine you could marry your best male friend (and now you can). As long as you stay friends all your assets are tied, you get tax benefits, and you can even adopt. But if you ever decided to not be friends, your assets are divided with the same bias in favor of your friend that women receive, and he gets custody of your adopted children and child support at the same as women typically do. Would you view this arrangement favorably. I doubt anyone would. | /r/MensRights | 02/08/15 12:40 AM |
| 1 | Hard proof there is no wage gap?This is a textbook example of "moving the goal posts" We hear from feminists women make 23 % less than men for the exact same job. Then we show them that the more variables we control for the less the gap becomes, then they say well you can't explain the 5% that's left, so therefore women make less than men for doing the same job. This is exactly the same as creationists that say we don't have the missing link between man and other apes then when we show them for example Australopithecus. they s… | /r/MensRights | 29/07/15 12:58 AM |

The myth is that they earn less because of discrimination, or they get paid less for doing the same work. From the same statistics we can see hispanic men earn less than women. Damn we must really hate Hispanics to pay their men less than even women for doing the same job. We also see Asians make more than whites. This is obviously because we love Asians so much we give them a bit extra even though they do the same job. Interestingly you never… | /r/MensRights | 28/07/15 01:31 AM |

Who gives a flying XXXX anyway.The user base of Facebook skews heavily towards women. It's not surprising or offensive that they would want a logo that appeals more to their user base. At least that's what I thought, but then I read this by the designer of the new logo. 'As a woman, educated at a women’s college, it was hard not to read into the symbolism of the current icon, the woman was quite literally in the shadow of the man, she was not in a position to lean in,' Ms Winner added.

| 16 | University of Minnesota to adopt 'affirmative consent' rule for sex partners.If a pre-sex contract like this were introduced three things would happen. First, any man that tries to have a women sign would be accused of being distrustful and a mysoginist. Second, any man who did not have a contract signed would be presumed a rapist. Third, any man that did have the contract signed would find it of no help at all when a women still accuses him as rape as she could have changed her mind after signing. These contracts are solely a way to shift burden of proof to the accused … | /r/MensRights | 05/07/15 05:40 PM |

| 2 | Double standard for woman accused in child sex case? "Girls get assaulted, boys get lucky."What's interesting is that people who justify this double standard would say "What teenage boy would say no to that?" And to me that is the whole point. If someone would not say " no", can they be considered to give consent. A teenage male would agree to sex without even considering the possible negative consequences of their actions: STD's,pregnancy, child support, etc. That is why boys need protection, not because they don't want it, but because they can't not want it. | /r/MensRights | 05/06/15 12:15 PM |

For most people, being fat is not a "choice".I am fat, based on BMI I am obese, and what you say is bullshit. I am fat because I love to eat, I hate exercising, and I lack self discipline. I am fat because of the mistakes I made, and continue to make. I developed bad habits because I chose too. I chose not to exercise, and I still choose not to exercise.

| 1 | Yes I'm a feminist but hear me out, I have a question on circumcision that I thought you guys could best answer.You need to fight archaic religious beliefs with archaic religious beliefs. By Jewish law the religion of children is the religion of the mother. Your children will not be jewish , so circumcision does not apply to them. And you get to decide. On a personal note, my uncircumcised brother is in the reverse situation.His wife if Jewish, again not religious, and wanted their son circumcised. So he got circumcised. Not sure if he cared though, never talked to them about it because it upsets me. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/15 01:58 AM |

Those who think the way feminists think is completely wrong. Let's call these type 1. These are MRA's that try to think more logically. They always saw feminism as bullshit.

While this is generally true, I don't know how effective it will be in the courts. There is no incentive for the court compromise.

Now that life has improved they're back in drives and it's getting harder to reject them, but in today's climate I feel that's the only way.Note, I would recommend seeing a psychologist/ psychiatrist before taking medical advice from any subreddit. That said, frequent masterbating lowers sex drive. Many many medications have lowered sex drive as a side effect, but I wouldn't recommend taking anything just to lower your labido.

" feminine" traits with positive connotation. Aloof, stern, rough, aggressive. "masculine" traits with negative connotation.

I remember a coworker of mine was wearing something inappropriate to work, (very short shorts) and it didn't even notice it until my female coworkers noted it. That women didn't notice this guy wore the same thing for a year is because women notice what women wear more than what they notice what men wear. Tldr | /r/MensRights | 16/11/14 11:03 PM |

Especially when an ideology is involved. We tend to dismiss the bad qualities of others who identify as being in our group, and dismiss the good qualities of those in the out group. We need to be aware that we are equally susceptible to this, and try to fight this ourselves. In truth, it's not feminism itself that is dangerous, it's the people who force their beliefs on others.

Rapists are held accountable for rape frequently. While I admit Women are raped by men way more often than the other way around, compare the accountability a female rapist receives compared to a male rapist.

I think you are interpreting this incorrectly. Women choose to wear revealing clothing because they wish to be sexual subjects, not objects.

MRA's care about men I don't see why they think they don't. Reactionary, yeah probably, hate group, no.

I would think MRAs would be the strongest supporters of trans* issues, but theI guess the most simple reason is because trans women are not men. Therefor, their issues are not ours. To address the concerns by the OP the question of revealing yourself. I guess the real reason this matters is because of societies notions of masculinity. Men are very sensitive to anything that may make them feel like less of a man, and having sex with someone that once had a penis, is a huge threat. Which is why trans men generally don't have this problem with the women they date. Some MRA s… | /r/MensRights | 14/02/14 01:56 AM |

| 2 | "Let’s examine some commonsense and empirical truths about rape that debunk the feminist rape-isn’t-about-sex myth and support the contention that rape is about sex."If rape was defined as violent rape, then I think one might argue that its not just "about sex". Not having the mentality of a rapist I obviously don't know, but with the way many feminists define rape, then its obviously about sex. Having sex with a drunk woman ( which many people would say is rape) is not about exerting power or dominance, its about sex. What I don't get is why it really matters? So what if rape is about sex or power, its still wrong. | /r/MensRights | 08/10/13 12:31 PM |

I can't think of any case were they people criticized an officer for not using enough force. That said, I try not to be too hard on cops in general. They are often in high pressure situations, and anytime someone has authority and weaponry, there will be abuse. It's human nature.

I would argue that is a result of birth control rather than anything else. Let's see how much feminism helps him out when he gets a girl pregnant, or gets a divorce and barely gets to see his kids. The term feminism is very ill defined. I think purposely so. I have found that if you think women and men should have the same rights you are called a feminist.
